Load Shedding duration increased to 3 hours per day! Insufficient funds to obtain the required amount of electric power!
Why can't they cut down on the extravaganza allowances while some high profile politician visits the city? Is it needed to put up tens of thousands' worth of hoardings calling out- "Thalapathiye" "Idhaya Dheivamey" "thunai MUDHALVAREY" etc. each time the person described visits (the frequency of which has now become nearly once in 15 days due to the Tamil Conference) ?? And why on earth should the city resemble a brightly-lit and ostentatiously decorated Christmas Tree when the Chief Minister visits, while the poor tax-payers there swelter in the summer day's heat without electricity for fans and earnest students preparing for exams are deprived of lights during the night?
Oh the Weird Ways of the Wicked World!!

Quite right! Atleast they could use some micro-controller based hoardings, which, though perceived by the eye to be fully lit, would have only a single bulb or LED on at any given instant. It would therefore draw a very small current of just 40mA, and therefore consume very less power. Just why don't they do it? In your words, "Oh the Weird Ways of the Wicked World!!"
